A: yes.

B: The reason was not valid, and it taught me to no longer respect my dad. He held me against a wall by my throat, and I refrained from fighting back almost as much for his sake as for mine. Over the years I learned far worse reasons for him to not deserve my respect, and in hindsight I actually understand his behaviour in that case. I kinda hope I don't learn to understand more of his behaviour.

C: Smacking is an integral part of good parenting. It's not pleasant for anyone involved, but it's the quickest and easiest way to introduce a lesson about proper behaviour towards others until the kid grows up enough to figure it out on a deeper level than "being a little shithead gets me slapped".
